It is celebrated by over 1 billion people around the world, including in China, Hong Kong, Korea, Singapore, Taiwan, Vietnam, and many more. It is also known as Chinese New Year, Spring Festival\/Chu\u0304nji\u00e9 (Mandarin), Seollal (Korean), and T\u1ebft (Vietnamese). As hinted by the name, the dates of Lunar New Year celebrations are determined by the phases of the moon. The holiday begins during the second new moon after the winter solstice, around late January to mid-February, and celebrations usually last for 15 days. <\/span>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.19.2″ _module_preset=”7262e956-c376-4aa6-9642-c413f71527d0″ text_line_height=”1.8em” custom_padding=”||0px|||” header_font_size_tablet=”55px” header_font_size_last_edited=”off|desktop” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n There are many different stories for how it all began, but the most common one is a legend that the celebrations began as a way to scare off a beast called Nian<\/em> (\u5e74) that was terrorizing the people each Spring. Nian<\/em> was afraid of loud noises and the color red, so the people used firecrackers and red paper to scare away the beast. Each culture celebrates Lunar New Year differently, but in many Asian cultures houses are cleaned to open the space for good luck, families gather together to eat delicious foods, and homes are decorated with red and gold decorations, colors that traditionally represent good fortune.
